Here we have a 1972 Williams Super Star pinball machine in action. This single-player electromechanical machine was designed by Steve Kordek with artwork by Christian Marche.
This game is pretty fun with the single drop target hiding the kick-out saucer and the the up-posts that occasionally rise from the playfield to protect the side out-lanes and the centre drain.
Completing the "SU-P-ER" or the 1-2-3-4-5 star sequence lights the saucer for a special, which can be adjusted to be a credit or an extra ball. This machine can be put on add-a-ball, which is a very cool feature for a home environment.
Fast game play with the four pop bumpers and two slings, this game is simple, but challenging and good fun. The theme is groovy, but the artwork is so-so. The cabinet art is attractive, but they definitely could have done more with the playfield art. The backglass could have been far more interesting also, especially considering the rock 'n' roll theme, but it's not stomach-turning as it is. I would prefer a bit more edge and a bit less folk, but what can ya do?
Overall, a fair effort from Williams in the early 70's.
